      As a middle aged Italian that's been a long time food lover and home cook, still to these days it just amazes me that whenever I go visiting a town where I've never been before, sooner or later they're going to come up with some local food product that I had never heard of before.

    As an italian fan lover of the chemical reactions behind food and cooking let me explain what are the crystals you feel in parmigiano. During the aging process in parmigiano most of the proteins and sugars of the milk go past numerous processes of modification. Sugars like lactose tends to "Vanish", they are decomposed in more simple sugars. That's why even lactose intolerants can eat very aged permigiano. The crystal that you feel are instead made by proteins, specifically it's a single aminoacid the tyrosine that's precieved by the tongue as umami. The more the parmigiano is aged the more the tyrosine tends to form white crystals, in a 12 months they seem like little spots of white the size of a needle, if you see 24, 36 or even more months aged the white parts are much larger and so is the umami flavour. To the extreme there is 300 months parmigiano that's very very axpensive and is completely white, an unique and huge cluster of tyrosine.
    Sorry for my bad english, I'm more used to listen and speak than to write. Hope this little explanation is helpful to you or the readers in the comments

    Anyway, nowadays that breed has been rescued even though it is still a niche, especially of the province of Reggio Emilia, between Modena and Parma.

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, my beloved exchange student (she is like a daughter to me) taught me this very simple pasta sauce: Start with a flat pasta. Cook to a'dente. drain, and keep the boil water (this is important). In a COLD sauce pan, add enough extra virgin olive oil (usually about a cup, depending on the size of your pan), and four cloves of sliced garlic. Fry those garlic slices until golden brown. Remove the garlic from the hot oil. Add red pepper flakes for 30 seconds. Toss with your pepper garlic sauce (add salt and the reserved pasta water, as needed), garnish with a heap of parmesan cheese, salt and pepper (freshly ground, of course). Greasy? You bet! Flavorful... watch this (cue the 1980's music).

    Since Guga seems to be on a bit of a traveling arc, I would LOVE to see him visit Japan and try out some of the food there directly so that he can come back and do more Japan-inspired episodes! Ramen is really only scratching the surface as there are endless dishes that I think Guga could put his own spin on once he's exposed to them.

    As someone who grew up right next to the border (Villach-Austria) and with Italian ancestors I can only say: I am looking forward to your videos of this Italy trip. We booked a week in Niapoli/Sorrent in May ourselves. Thinking of all the delicacies we will be able to eat there, my mouth already starts watering! 🤤

    24 months is the perfect seasoning for eating the cheese in pieces. 30 months or more is used grated over pasta or for cooking, the flavour is MUCH more intense and salty. Great video !

    I have a video suggestion: biltong. It is still beef and, for me, is just a better and more natural version of jerky. You can also make biltong with wagyu which i have had, but didn't make a huge difference for me.

    • @AngryAlfonse
      @AngryAlfonse Рік тому +2

      Got my vote. Biltong is delicious. It's more moist and flavorful, and doesn't have all the disgusting sugar that normal jerkies usually have. I actually have to force myself to ration biltong when I buy it or make it because I can mindlessly snack through a whole pound in a couple of days.

    You should’ve tried the Florence steak that Mikey Chen had and it’s gorgeous; also it’s served very rare but the beef has a beefier taste than Waygu would and the beef is from Italy raised there and only seasoned with salt or some spices and most people love it and it’s well known for a lot of other things

    And, now, Guga, you know why I am very cautious about consuming anything that is called "cheese" that is made in the US. Much of what we call cheese here can barely be characterized as a true food. It's more of an artificial chemical concoction. My son lives in the south of France. Every time we go there to visit, part of the experience is to enjoy the fresh and authentic foods: cheeses, sausages, seafood, meats, olive oils, fruits and vegetables, breads and pastries, etc. I'm glad you got to visit Italy and experience some of the authentic flavors and aromas.

    The Appenzeller extra spicy cheese is a raw milk semi-hard cheese from Switzerland that I prefer to any other cheese. And just for info, in Switzerland there are more than 450 different types of cheese. But the Appenzeller extra spicy is my absolute favorite of all the cheeses I've ever tried .Guga you should try it, although I don't even know if this cheese is available in the USA.

A secret marinade made from various mountain herbs, roots, blossoms, salt and other ingredients, with which the cheese is treated during the maturing period and which gives it its special taste.Appenzeller cheese has been made since at least the 13th century. The oldest archived mention dates back to January 15, 1282. Unfortunately, I can't say whether it was seasoned at that time. And the Appenzeller cheesemakers would never tell the recipe is even more secret than the coca-cola recipe =).
